Before and after thread?

[ver328i]

Thought it would be a good idea to see or let others know of progress and personal touches put on cars...?

so lets see some pics of your car when you first bought it

and what it looks like now:thumbs:

I'll start:

This is my vert after pickin it up last year Feb -

First drive out, faulty roof, faded paint and bent kidney panel

The following week i fitted a new kidney panel

To date - had her polished, lowered and added a set of rims

lets see some of yours

Heres some before and after pics of my '96 328i Manual

Before (When I picked it up):

And after:

Things I have done since I picked her up:

Lots and lots of elbow grease and TLC
16'' Rims
Lowered the front suspension
Full dual 57mm aftermarket exhaust system
Refurbished the front headlights
Clear front indicators
Original e36 rear semi clears
L.E.D Interior and numberplate lighting
Complete new sound system
New ferodo discs and pads all around
New LCAB's and balljoints
New V belts
Serviced twice
Changed the PCV valve.

I purchased the car at 174000km about 10 months ago, it is now on 194000km, and has not missed a beat at all.

Thats a huge improvement - you changed quite a few things in you 10 month ownership...
how loud is the car with that 57mm exhaust?

Thanks Vert.

I went with a 2 box system (although the rear box is chambered type box), the car is not too loud. up to 4500 r/min its on the quieter, deeper side, but after that is when the noise really starts. I have heard much louder systems on the M52 though.
